About Thirty Six Pixels

Thirty Six Pixels is an independent software studio in Columbus, Ohio, founded by Nick Marlatt in December 2025. We make SideQuest, a task RPG for iOS that launched in October 2026.

Thirty Six Pixels designs tools for people with too many ideas and not enough clean systems to carry them. SideQuest is our newest product. It is a task RPG for iOS that pairs practical prioritization with a fantasy reward loop.

SideQuest

SideQuest rewards forward motion instead of perfect systems. Finishing a task builds momentum without adding guilt. The matrix, reminders, recurrence, and categories stay practical first. The game layer makes the work more inviting without getting in the way.

VideoForge

VideoForge remains part of the studio, giving YouTube creators a dedicated production workspace. SideQuest leads the next chapter: personal task management that feels like progress instead of maintenance.
